Owner Profile: The Cesar Millan Wannabe. | The Dog Snobs Description: We all know them, none of us love them. That’s right- The Cesar Millan Wannabe (CMW). Whether you are a fan of CM or want him to burn in the lowest pit of hell, you have to admit this person is annoying. Really, really, annoying. The entirety of their dog knowledge is gained from reading CM’s books and watching his program religiously. Their own dog is usually terribly behaved and completely ignores CM’s most often used catchphrase “Tsst”. His hero, his teacher, his man-crush. Common Locations: Dog parks, where they can impart their “knowledge” on innocent bystanders and demonstrate alpha rolls on unsuspecting dogs. Even the dogs are doing it. Wardrobe: “Be the Pack Leader” and “Leader of the Pack” t-shirts, rollerblades, fanny packs and dog packs strapped on each hip. Manny pack in so-so many ways. That’s a funny noise you’re making. Skill Level: Very Very low, the CMW has never spoken to an actual trainer other than to tell them what they are doing is completely wrong.
